PHYS& 223 - Engineering Physics III with Lab Credits: 5 LEC hours per week: 4 LAB hours per week: 2 This is part three of a calculus-based physics sequence intended for physical science and engineering majors. Topics include electricity and magnetism, with selected topics from optics and modern physics as time allows. Lab work required Formerly: PHYS 203. Prerequisite(s): PHYS& 222 with a grade of C of higher, or permission of the chair or designee. Course Outcomes:
- Demonstrate knowledge of the fundamental concepts of electricity and electromagnetism, including electrostatic potential energy, electrostatic potential, potential difference, magnetic field, induction, and Maxwell’s Laws.
- Apply circuit theory, including Ohm’s Law and Kirchhoff’s Laws, to circuits with potential sources, capacitance, and resistance, including parallel and series capacitance and resistance.
- Describe the effects of static charge on nearby materials in terms of Coulomb’s Law.
- Use Faraday’s and Lenz’s Laws to find the electromagnetic forces.
- Analyze a written problem or observed phenomena, simplify it, identify the key known and unknown features, make predictions, and evaluate those predictions based on the principles of physics.
- Solve quantitative problems related to electricity and magnetism using algebra, trigonometry, and calculus.
- Design and carry out laboratory experiments that relate to electricity and magnetism.
Course Topics:
- Electric charge and electric field
- Gauss’s Law
- Electric potential
- Current and resistance in DC circuits
- Magnetic field
- Electromagnetic induction
Course Attribute(s): Lab Course, Natural Science, Transferable Elective
